Your tattoo has been done under clean, professional conditions.
Now it's up to you to take proper care of it. The chance of any infection or damage to your new tattoo is minimal if aftercare instructions are followed correctly. Most problems or irritations occur from:
· Scratching or itching a new tattoo.
· Tanning or swimming before your tattoo is healed.
· Using inappropriate amounts or types of aftercare products.
You must take care not to agitate or abuse any unhealed tattoo. Your tattoo may be bandaged upon completion due to location. It is important to not pull off any bandage too quickly, gently wet any applied bandage and gently pull off so as not to damage any scabs or dried matter which may have accumulated. Never re-bandage your tattoo. Once you have removed the bandage wash your new tattoo in cool soapy water and rinse. The proper after care product is also very important in the way your tattoo looks when healed. You don't want to use any products that may damage inks, or your skin. Some acceptable aftercare products are:
· Vitamin A+D ointment.
· Bagbalm.
· Specialty tattoo products such as Tattoo Goo or InkFixx (consult your tattoo artist first).
